VSH History

VSH originated in the beginning of the 1930´s from a merger between a couple of metalworking companies. In the beginning the supply of brass was the major activity of VSH.
In 1957 VSH started producing installation components. The brass threaded fittings were one of the first in a long range of products.
In 1975 VSH marketed the famous VSH Super Compression Fitting. This was an instant success. The combination of a conical bored compression nut, a compression ring and a housing with a conical bore guarantee ease of installation. After all these years the well known VSH Super Compression product range is still the benchmark in quality and performance.

Over time the VSH product range expanded as more and more fittings and accessories such as stop valves, gas valves, and check valves were added to the range.
Each time the deciding factor behind the product development of VSH were quality and ease of use for the installer.


In 1991 VSH was taken over by Aalberts Industries, and is part of the Flow Control activities within this organisation. Within Flow Control there is cooperation between companies which are producing products for similar market segments. The main components are fittings and accessories for water, gas, and central heating installations. These companies are divided into the different concerns: VSH Group, Seppelfricke Group, Broen Group, Yorkshire Fittings Group, Standard Hídraulica Group.

In the last few years VSH has been developed into a market focused company. Customer’s wishes and needs are the starting point for the development and marketing of new products.

The products that are produced by VSH are sold outside the Benelux region by an extensive network of sister companies and agencies. The focus in these international markets is on the brass VSH Super Compression Fittings and the C-Press and S-Press Fittings.

Within the Benelux market VSH Flow Control is responsible for selling and marketing the complete range of installation components of the Flow Control activities of Aalberts industries.
